Just cruising along

It seems like forever since I last enjoyed the kind of time off where you can just make nice things and not feel pressured by a list of chores. This week I'm just cruising ... slowly and without pressure. It feels great!

It's day 2 of a week of annual leave and so far I've got the star quilt top sewn together, shortened some curtains, watched The Widower on ITV Player on the laptop while sewing. Also caught up with Bonnie Hunter on YouTube.

Time for some embroidery. This is one of two embroideries on my Finish Along list. Problem is this one has been folded up for about 5 years now. The iron on batting on the back has formed a memory of folds. I've spritzed it back and front and its pinned out on the design wall. With the nice warm weather we have at the moment it should be okay by Thursday to stitch on.

Tomorrow I'm going to spend some time with an old school friend who is visiting in Harrogate and flies home to South Africa on Friday 18th.
